17 When a person gets food dishonestly, it may taste sweet at first.But later he will feel as if he has a mouth full of gravel.
18 Get advice if you want your plans to work.If you go to war, get the advice of others.
19 Gossips can’t keep secrets.So avoid people who talk too much.
20 Whoever curses his father or motherwill die like a light going out in darkness.
21 Wealth that is gotten quickly in the beginningwill do you no good in the end.
22 Don’t say, “I’ll pay you back for the evil you did.”Wait for the Lord. He will make things right.
23 The Lord hates dishonest weights.And dishonest scales do not please him.
